Analysis of IC Manufacturing Process Deformations: An Automated Approach Using SRAM Bit Fail Maps
نویسنده
چکیده
SRAM bit fail maps (BFM) are routinely collected during earlier phases of yield ramping, providing a rich source of information for IC failure and deformation learning. In this paper, we present an automated approach to analyzing BFM data efficiently. We also demonstrate the usability of our analysis framework using real BFM test data from a large, modern SRAM test vehicle.

Classification of IC Process Deformation Characteristics Using Memory Fail Bitmaps
Building a portfolio of deformations is the key step for building better defect models for the test and yield learning domain. A viable approach to achieve this goal is through geometric characterization and classification of failure patterns found on memory fail bitmaps. In this paper, we present preliminary results on how to build such a portfolio of deformations for an IC technology of inter...
متن کاملA Sub-threshold 9T SRAM Cell with High Write and Read ability with Bit Interleaving Capability
This paper proposes a new sub-threshold low power 9T static random-access memory (SRAM) cell compatible with bit interleaving structure in which the effective sizing adjustment of access transistors in write mode is provided by isolating writing and reading paths. In the proposed cell, we consider a weak inverter to make better write mode operation. Moreover applying boosted word line feature ...
متن کاملICCAD : G : Fast Statistical Analysis of Rare Circuit Failure Events in High-Dimensional Variation Space
As integrated circuit (IC) technology advances, the ever increasing process variation has become a growing concern [1]. A complex IC, containing numerous circuit components (e.g., millions of SRAM bit-cells integrated in an advanced microprocessor), is required to meet the design specification not only at the nominal process corner, but also under large-scale process variations. To achieve suff...

Based on the findings of Massachusetts Institute of Technology, organizations’ data double every five years. However, the rate of using data is 0.3. Nowadays, data mining tools have greatly facilitated the process of knowledge extraction from a welter of data. This paper presents a hybrid model using data gathered from an ATM manufacturing company. The steps of the research are based on CRISP-D...
متن کاملCompressed Bit Fail Maps for Memory Fail Pattern Classification
This paper presents a new approach to configure compressed bit fail maps to allow fail pattern recognition. Construction of the special compression scheme will be shown. This takes typical memory array fail patterns into account. Examples for different failure types are given. This scheme allows minimizing the necessary catch memory size for fail classification. A 64Mbit fail map can be compres...
